Uncle Earl, I will always remember you with love. You were so kind to me and my dog when we came to visit a few years ago. Roscoe was immediately drawn to you, as dogs are when they sense someone who loves them. Your spirit lives on in your kind and wonderful daughters. I hope wherever you are they have Wall Street Week. Your loving niece Jan

So sorry to hear of Earl’s death. He was like an uncle to me when we would take family trips and vacations as we got to know Holly and Peggy. So interesting to talk with Earl from guns to business strategy. Ed and Norma, my parents shared many great times and many good memories together with Earl and Patsey. We felt like an extended family during those times. Great friends and Great memories are cherished forever. May you Rest in Peace Earl ?

Holly and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts. Amy
